We are an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the history, culture and true lives of Romani people worldwide. We confront racism and oppression wherever we encounter it. We try to make connections with all the "isms" that make up western culture.

ANGELA YVONNE DAVIS
Radical simply means "grasping things at the root."
Angela Davis
Jails and prisons are designed to break human beings, to convert the population into specimens in a zoo - obedient to our keepers, but dangerous to each other.
Angela Davis
Today is Angela Davis' 65 birthday. That fact is amazing considering that she was once on the FBI TEN MOST WANTED LIST, and the orders were shoot to kill.
Angela is a life long Communist and political activist. She is also my personal hero.
The main focus of her work today involves the prison system, and anti racism.
Happy Birthday Angela
